Who we are

Fear and Loathing in Bioethics began life as blog for "Investigative Journalism and Bioethics," a class taught by Amy Snow Landa and Carl Elliott at the University of Minnesota. Although the class has ended, the blog has not. Most posts now are by Carl Elliott, a professor in the Center for Bioethics. However, they do not in any way represent the views or positions of the University of Minnesota.
